You might think Eventful.com's "demand" numbers would mirror the polls, but right now Barack Obama's in the lead, with 34,560 "demands." Ron Paul, bless him, comes in second, with 27,776 votes. Edwards is ranked third, with 11,421; and Hillary's in fourth, with 9,683. Maybe Hillary's supporters still want her to be president—they just don't really want to see her in person.

Fred Thompson's "Hardworkin' Man" tour
Rudy Giuliani's "Marital Stability" tour
John McCain's "Forever Young" tour
Mike Gravel's "The Meds Are Working" tour
Joe Biden's "Listening" tour
Bill Richardson's "Born Gay" tour
